Gladstar Competitors

At Traditional Medicinals we've been serving plants, people, and the planet since 1974. We are an independent botanical herbal wellness company that embraces sustainability, ingredient purity, and social and environmental activism. A Certified B Corporation and California Certified Green Business, we’re the leading seller of wellness tea in the US. Our roots go back to a third generation herbalist named Rosemary Gladstar, who was raised close to the earth in the farmlands of Northern California. In the late 1960s, while living in the coastal redwood forest, she met community activist and environmentalist Drake Sadler. The young couple was part of a movement of back-to-the-land baby boomers seeking an alternative lifestyle, including natural foods and herbal remedies. Together, they shared a vision for the rebirth of herbalism in North America, and co-founded Traditional Medicinals, pioneering the herbal medicinal tea category. Over the years we have grown to become the fourth-largest bagged tea company in the US. Today, we are proud to be the number one medicinal, organic, and Fair Trade herbal products company in the US. We offer over 57 varieties of medicinal herbal teas and products, each lovingly created by herbalists and rigorously tested for quality by botanical experts. Find our products distributed nationally across 70,000 retail outlets in North America in all channels, from drug, health and natural food stores to major grocery chains, mass market retailers, and online retailers.
